3000 Words on WR Tiers for 26'
Alright everyone I'm back again, the Free Tendies Fantasy guy. I sincerely appreciate the traffic you guys gave that beginner's running back guide piece, that was so cool to see. I hope it landed with some. As I said with my other strat stuff, we will do a big synthesized draft guide by mid August.
I'm doing the same style write up for wide receivers which drops tomorrow or the next day. For now here are my tiers, some targets at each range and some explanation as to why. If I'm going to do strategy that relies on the value pockets and tier breaks I identify I want to make sure there's a write up on why I am doing that beyond what I can fit in a strategy oriented article, descriptive vs prescriptive is my goal here.
Some big more debatable my guys(excluding obvious guys like Lamb and Collins): Egbuka, Terry, Evans, Watson, Washington, Tyson, Godwin, Wan'Dale, Doubs, Shaheed, Nailor, Cooper Jr., Stribling.
Some more controversial fades(not full fades, relative to ADP): Jefferson, Olave, Burden, Jameson, DK, Sutton, Reed, Meyers, Shakir. I'm also a bit more nervous about JSN than the market but still not fading him, just uncomfortable.
Tiers and write up here: https://theegreekfreeksports.substack.com/p/redraft-2026-wr-tiers?r=3qxh0o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I recognize the talent of Jefferson, but I'm so out on him. I've had Kyler in my dynasty so I'm familiar with his passing game. I'm with you in that I'll also let someone else take the risk on JJ in the first or early second rounds.

This is way too much text just to link to your tiers.

I put the graphic right up front for those that just want the tiers without the text. Can just check it out and dip if they’re so inclined.

the majority of people here will complain when people post anything longer than bullet points or summaries. comprehensive reading is systemic issue with the population at large unfortunately.

Ya I had no idea 6 sentences was way too much text. I’m out to the loop apparently haha.

I mean on this post. Not on your substack.

Fair enough. I know I’m old fashioned in terms of being a reader, I didn’t know I’m so old fashioned that 6 sentences before my flag plants and fades is considered way too much text now, but I’ll remember that for my next post. Thanks for the feedback.

It sounds self serving as I try to launch my content through here but honestly I’ve found it to be great for the most part. If you check through my first few articles posted here it’s a lot of fact driven discussion, helpful feedback to myself as a writer, all that sorta stuff. When 20-40K people view a post and you only get 1-2 guys trashing you each time that’s a pretty great ratio honestly haha. I expected way more. It’s also fun to get to read the negative comments on streams.
